It’s been long since I last updated, been really busy with work and other activities.
The play has finally ended, am really thankful for everybody whom came down to show their support for me and the play, my jc classmates, my secondary school classmates, my current schoolmates and my hall mates made up the faces in the crowd . Bunked in the 5th of March. It’s quite exciting for me and some of the cast as it is the first time for most of us that we are exposed to a real theater environment. The dressing room seemed to be a sight from the movies, long rows of mirrors with light bulbs surrounding it. We got to see how the lights and sounds are painfully set up over hours in order to get the desired effects. Soon it was down to work as we had 2 full run through on the actual stage before we called it a day at 11pm.
6th of March was the performance day and we had to be there by 830 in the morning. Went to pray at the guanyin temple for success in the play and walked over to rochor center to buy 4D (for some special reason that few will know). To our horror, Pok Yen was absent and uncontactable even after 10am where we had to do our 1st run through. The show cannot go on without him, thankfully I managed to get his house contact number through Sophie and the show was saved. The drama in the drama did not stop there, I lost my voice after the final rehearsal and I was unable to project my voice during the 2nd part of our rehearsal. The ever willing and helpful biz mag people went out to get hot drinks and strepsils for me and it barely saved my voice for the real play. The audience made their way into the theater after 7pm and the adrenaline was pumping and I was ready to go. My 1st appearance on stage was at scene 2 and I kept telling myself my 1st line of the play was “CHAO CHEE BYE” which I delivered to the desired effect. Weilun saved scene 2 when he cut in and delivered Dylan’s line when he forgotten it. Other than a few minor screw ups here and there the play went well and it was quite well received from the crowd. Gonna miss the cast and crew than I’ve been spending the past 3 months and the play will be something that I will remember for the rest of my life.
I thought that since the play was over, I’ll finally get to spend at least 1 full weekend at home after spending every Sunday afternoon since December. This is sadly not true. Helped out with hall 2’s supper hop by driving the lorry. Turned out that my help was not needed until I changed over with Wee Kiat for the trip back. Had a good supper trip with the hall prod people and we been to places such as east coast, simpang bedok, geylang and selegie beancurd. Gave the hall prod people a crazy ride to remember back when I took over the wheel from Wee Kiat. Reached back hall at 3am, woke up at 7am to set up NRC’s booth for the NTU open house. The open house honestly was a boring affair, you would expect people to be more interested in academic matters than cca matters as a result, most of the cca booths we quite empty. Saeed got into a major quarrel with the dean of students and both sides were very aggressive to one another. Had to try and calm the situation down if not I think our cca will be closed down on the spot. Had my first prime league game on the season after the open house and I felt I did well. I made the first goal line call in my life, so happy it was the correct one.
20th March is the day for NTU Rider’s Club’s biker’s challenge. It is an amazing race on bike which brings participants to pitstops all around Singapore. Changi boardwalk, Labrador Park, Tuas track, Hay dairies farm just to name a few. Finished recce at 5am in the morning and have to wake up at 7am to set up the place to brief the participants and to prepare for the flag off. Heaven was not kind to us, it rained almost the whole day. Only managed to gather 5 teams instead of the targeted 15 teams. But I’m sure that all teams enjoyed the race that we put up for them. Spent 6 hrs in the wet Labrador park waiting for teams to come. Looked at the sea most of the time, dunno how come I love the sea so much. Maybe I should switch to maritime engineering instead.
Glider project, quizzes, hmm1 speech, bike fest, fitness test coming up, how much busier can I get.
